While we reported yesterday that Fringe star Kirk Acevedo left a Facebook message decrying his being fired from the show, execs behind the show deny it.
Executive producer Jeff Pinkner told Entertainment Weekly today that not only was Acevedo not fired, but “Like all things on Fringe, there is more to this story than meets the eye… We have already seen two of him on the show…We have already met the second Charlie. He had a scar on his face.”
This is why having a show like this is so maddening — is this true? Is it a weird PR/alternate-reality game stunt? Or is this just a smokescreen for what really happened?

Funny and cool!
The episode in question, in which Olivia starts seeing “into” an alternate reality in which something catastrophic has happened, was rather unsatisfying in the sense that it never really provided any explanation as to what had happened “there”. Sounds like we’ll be getting some followup on it, which is A-OK by this fan.
